研究目的
To enhance the photostability of In2S3 electrodes toward PEC solar hydrogen production by realizing an innovative charge transfer manipulation concept based on the aligned hole transport across the interface.
研究成果
An innovative charge transfer manipulation concept based on the aligned hole transport across the compact interface has been realized to enhance the photostability of In2S3 toward PEC solar hydrogen production. The PEC durability tests showed that TiO2-In2S3 electrodes can achieve over 90 % retention of initial photocurrent upon continuous irradiation for 6 h, substantially better than that attained from pure In2S3.
研究不足
The thickness of the overgrown In2S3 was much larger than the effective hole diffusion length, which may induce photocorrosion to deteriorate the long-term photostability.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The approach was based on the compact deposition of In2S3 nanocrystals on the TiO2 nanowires array, achieved by using a facile chemical bath deposition method.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The TiO2 nanowires-supported In2S3 hybrid nanostructures (denoted as TiO2-In2S3) were used as photoanode to construct a PEC cell for performing solar hydrogen production.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
SEM, TEM, SAED, XRD, EDS, UV-visible diffuse reflection absorption spectra, PEC analyses, time-resolved PL, EIS.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The PEC durability tests were carried out under AM
5:5G illumination (100 mW/cm2) produced by a solar simulator. Data Analysis Methods:
The interfacial charge dynamics and hole injection kinetics of the electrodes were investigated with time-resolved PL and EIS.
